Abstract	This English-Spanish language booklet is designed to help parents understand two important features of special education services, accommodations and modifications for students with disabilities. Examples of accommodations and modifications are provided, federal laws requiring schools to provide accommodations and modifications are cited, and eligibility is explained. Information is also provided on how decisions are made for children with disabilities and written in Individualized Education Programs. Section 2 of the booklet provides examples of accommodations for a variety of learning problems, including examples of assistive technology. Accommodations are listed for students with disabilities who are having difficulty reading, students with disabilities who have difficulty maintaining attention, following ideas, and interpreting information, and students with disabilities who have problems with learning mathematical concepts and processes. Accommodations are also listed for students who have difficulties for specific kinds of classroom assignments, including problems with written assignments and assessments, with following instructions, with completing assignments, with organization, and with taking tests. The third section focuses on modifications to course requirements, curriculum expectations, and alternate assessments. The final section emphasizes the importance of teacher and parent collaboration and the need to monitor the impact of any accommodation or modification. (CR)
